Calculating Speed from a Motion Graph
The motion graph below represents a bug’s journey from his home out to search for food. When he collects food, he returns back to his home to store his findings. He then leaves his home again in search of more food and stops when he finds another supply.
Calculate average speed for each part of the bug’s journey. Recall, average speed = total distance ÷ total time.
